We believe ft(l hat no such statement has been made V( iy the Abbeville town council for sever- ^ ,1 years. It would seem that this state- 1 uent should be made, as the tax payers ire entitled to that information. If we <>i .re not mistaken the law requires that d< his exhibit should be made, and we be :jiow that our council can have no ob- h< action to the publication. Cotton is selling at between eleven i Li ,nd twelve cents, arid it is estimated L< ha.t*it costs, when the mules are led on i le ats, about ten cents, but if the planter) of ives a dollar and seventy-live cents aj usliel for corn to feed a poor old mule, J c here is no telling how much it docs j ^ ust.

Jji? ; " . ^^ftfil f^r Death of Rev. Jas. W. Miles. t The Charleston New* & Courier r.n- ^ Jnounces the death of the Kev. J. r t Miles, one of the most profound scholars ii 1 in the State, at his residence in that city s, on Tuesday morning, the 14th instant. 1 7 The News it Courier says of him :? j. After graduating at the South G'aro- ? - lifui (Jollego he devoted himself t? . for the ministry, and in 1841 wust^ '^-T^ 1! fil ji Doufion of the Protestant JOpist-.'Sil' p Church. About a year of his early Tife! e , as a minister was spent under the clirec- i n ) tion of the JJi.sliop in missionary labors n fi in St. John's, St. Stephen's, ami Che- is i raw Parishes. At the end of tliis ser- j t - vice he went on a mission to the Arme- ii nian Christians of Asia Minor, front f ii . which lie was transferred to service t , under the Jlishopof Stamboul, and lived I - several yetrs in Constantinople. During n .1 tliis time it was Mr. Miles' peculiar v t pleasure tostudy the Oriental languages, i i. and his natural fancy for linguistic pur- j . suits was largely fostered and indulged 11 . by his residence in the East. After his t - return home he had numerous offers of a r churches, but would accept permanent i engagement in none. In 184)1 he occu- e - pied temporarily the place of the Kev. t p V. J. Young in St. Michael's Church, o l ami there preached thoso sermons s i, which were subsequently embodied t - in his "Philosophic Theology." For o three years he tilled the chair of Greek I I.ifpr.ahire in the Colleire of Charleston, s i when failing health sent him again to v - the Old World. After the war was c - over, Mr. Miles was elected Professor oL a) a the Classical Tongues in thfe-C^tege <ff % >f Charleston, which position he held i; !, about four years, when the utter pro'B-.' v ii tratiou of his strength compelled him to c r retire. Bluce that time he has labored t l1 acceptably as an occasional teacher and v - preacher. c1 y * c 0 i- Georgia Agaiii. t t . . ? t Mr. Charles NordhofF, the Herald j s correspondent, has written another iet- N ,e tor, in which ho gives a very cheering ^ e accountof the tinancial condition of the ^ !- State under Democratic auspices, lie s e says with regard tlio r a STATE FINANCES AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS, fc While I am speaking of the Demo0 cralic management of the State, 1 think t ' it right to call attention to the satisfac- fJ tory financial statement, which com- * ' pares remarkably with the condition of 1 0 Louisiana, Arkansas and other Southern t States which have been under llepubli- > 8 can control. The State debt is but t .(j $8,000,000, and the credit of the State t 11 stands high in New York and abroad. < In January of this year there was a sur- * J" plus in the treasury of over $1,000,000. } l' The cost of the State government for ' r" 1874 was but $770,000. The counties have no debts of anycotisequonce. The n cities have some, but not a very heavy j ? indebtedness. It is altogether such a ( showing as these Democrats need not be . * aslmmud of. It has one weak spot J d only ? the expenditure for schools. ( (jeorgia had no free schools before the { 2 war; and the system makes but slow headway in the Stale. The present Su- ( perintendent of Public Instruction, (a , Democrat) is a zealous and efficient oifi- j eer, and be looks forward to better days , Tiiere was apportioned by him for thi ( support of schools in 1874 only $205,000 and the schools are open, in general, less j than three months in the year. For the j present year the school tax will yield , only ?370,000. Last year there were j 135,000 children in the public schools, an , )- increase of 50,000 over 1.373. in 1873j, 1 there were actually attending school j( >s only" 03,922 white and 19,755 colored chil- , 1. dren, in 1874 the numbers stood 93,107 ( j- white snd 42,374 colored children. This i- was out of a total of 21S,733 white and ( ie 175,304 colored children within the , g school ages. There is still in mauyj I counties some prejudice against colored j, t- schools, but it constantly decreases; and;] s you will notice that more than twice asj d many colored children attended schools j II in 1874 as in 1873. Atlanta has a colored j university, and the Legislature appro- , n prlates yearly towarus as sujiiwm is the same amount which is given to the e old State university. With regard to tlio , "l WAGES OF THE BLACKS, I and the system of planting 011 shares, a he writes:? e In the cotton country the planter i lt usually pays his hands $10 a month, by :r the year, with a house and ration. The 13 ration consists of three pounds of bacon, 1 r a peck of meal and a pint of molasses s per week. The laborer has also a patch < ' of land for a garden, and Saturday after- 1 d noon for himself, with the use of the I 18 planter's mules and tools to work the . e garden. They work from suniise to . 18 sunset, and in the summer have two I r" and a half hours for dinner. The cotton 1 e pickers receive iifty cents per 100 pounds ' >" 111 the seed and are fed, or sixty-live 1 >r cents per 100 pounds if they feed them- ' * selves. The ration costs about fifteen < e cents per day. Most planters keep a ( small store, and sell their laborers meat. < bread and tobacco on credit, the general j< d settlement bein^ made once a year, j 1 jt The women receive for field work $6 a j 1 1- mui n ml ion. nnd I was told that! s d they insist on receiving their own wages and will not let their husbands ( ? use their money. They form an impor- i y tnnt extra force for pressing work. One'. I1 of the most intelligent planters I met in i L" the State told mo that his laborers cost r" him about $15 a month?wages and ration. He added (what surprised me) v that tho best planters prefer to pay wages rather than let their land on 0 shares, and that the wages system was * ^ growing in favor also with the negroes. ( e 1 found this confirmed by other testi- J ?* " T*- ?'q riiflPnrpnf. in the other 1 UiUllJ 11 U ? VI J V* w ... w_ _ > States I have seen ? except, indeed, North Carolina?and I imagine the pov^'erty of the soil is a main reason for it. I In Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkann sasthe planter told me it would be poor e policy to pay wages. Certainly it is the ^jl poorest policy for the negro. ] li PLANTING ON SHARES. ' 1 II Where the negroes plant ?n shares the | planter furnishes the land and mules and feeds the mules. The negro fur-jl " nisbes labor and feeds it and gets one-, t third of the crop. He pays for one-third of the fertilizers. The planter gins the! r whole crop. Where negroes rent land ? they pay 750 pounds of lint or ginned cotton for thirty-five to forty acres of land?as much as they can cultivate it with one mule?and they keep up the e fences and pay for the fertilizers. "On , this pay," said the planter to me, "Ij . ' know one "man who made S250 clear in ' a year over and above his support, and e another who lost $150." He added that f j the negroes, on the whole, preferred the J : wages system; and this is mainly, I im-j i jagine, because the artificial manures are \ ( 'j costly and en uncertain element in marking the crop. This means really, of ~_ course, that it costs more money to make '" cotton in Georgia than in tho other Sl'"" * T 1 ? a ti,;,.,i ,,f l.iilnI : ^lilies -I- HilVU IIUIIJUU. 1-1 VI...v. ... ? - | * I to the acre is the average crop iu Geor-, I igia, but in Mississippi they expect toj i get from three-quarters to a bale per acre ,c P without manure.

The hoard of engineers convenedoy !apt. Ends, with the approval of the 'resident, for tlie purpose of considerug his plans for the construction of a ystcm of jetties at the .South Pass of the lississippi Iiiver, resumed its session esterday morning at the Fifth.Avenue ?otel. Gen. Barnard occupied the ha* There wero also present Sir ?' lartley, of England; H. I). i; I nb, chief engineer of the ChcsaeaTiex^ < Ohio Railroad, and Col. Robrts, president of the Philadelphia comlission of water supply. The board retained in session from 10 A. M. till 5'P. I., the subject under discussion being hejdetails of the general plan which filrnnrlv rciinrfHil unon. Ow rig to the absence of two members of lie boiml, Gen. Alexander and Gen. T. Sickles, no decision was reached, the nembers desiring that in a matter ybieh so largely a fleet eel Capt. Eads's nterest there should be a full board resent before any definite annour.eenent should be made. Thoti$l>lhe denils of the plan upon which the jetties re to be constructed were fully examned and discussed, no action was taken xcept to reccommend that the matresses be laid in the river rtbt.'to a depth f thirty feet of water. Mr. Whitcomb, ecretary of the board, stated yesterday hat very little doubt was entertained f the success of Capt. Kads's plan. Jnless the construction of the jetties, he aid, should develop some action of tin* waters in the river above aud ;ulf wh^ch ciuinot rho has given the subject the slightest onsideratiori, entertaihB any doubt that lyconlining tho ^ver between artificial yalls the fortje Of the current thus proluced will deepen tlie channel. The xperience derived from other-works of l similar character has satisfactorily setled this point* The chief difficulties hat lay in the way of the jetty arc sup>osed to exist in the construction of vorks having sufficient stability to vithstand the action of the current of he river within and of the tides and ;ulf currents from without, and at the aine time preventing the formation of a lew bar within too short a period. It is iow generally admitted by the present ?oard of engineers that C'apt. Eads has ibviated these difficulties. Some memiers of the board believe that it will re[iiiro over a century to form a new bar, vhile others, who do not uimk ic win ake so long, believe that for at least wenty years the mouth of the river viII be kept free from obstructions by he works now in progress. It is also he opinion of all the members of the :ommission that the mattress system of wilding up the jetties will besuccessfnl. t is expected that the board will close ts labors to-day.?New. York Times. ? ? As the season for picking and packng cotton is near, we would call the attrition of planters to the following important suggestions, which, if carried nit, would be of essential benefit, not >nly to them, hut to all parties handling )tir great staple: First.?While ginning, allow no seed ;o remain in the lint as they invariably subject it to a loss of at least one and a half to two cents per pound. Sand or rush, especially the former, is also very objectionable. Second.?Great care should be taken :o have a uniform grade in each bale, as ;wo grades will force the sale to be made by the' lowest, thereby causing a loss on the better grade, which the proJucer always sustains. For illustration * bale containing live hundred pounds, )f which fifty being good ordinary, making a loss of at least six or seven dollars per bale. Third.?Pack the bales so as to contain as nearly five hundred pounds apossible. 1 Sales under three hundred rounds are not merchantable. Do not illow bagging to lap, as a deduction is invariably made for lapped bagging, It i.s not essential to have the bagging meet on the side, a space of six to "eight inches not being objectionable. There should ho six hoops to the bale. Fourth.?It is a bad policy 011 the part of the producer to allow cotton t<: remain exposed to the weather, as it often reaches market in a wet and damaged condition causing trouble between buyer and seller, and invariably a loss to the producer. Cotton in good condition is prefered by buyers in all markets. The Courier-journal, referring to the unfortunate affray at Clinton, Miss., says: "The fracas in Mississippi is, oi course, grist to the outrage mill. The Cincinnati Gazette burns with a characteristic glow of pious satisfaction. The Tntcr-Occan is ecstatic. The Buffalo Express may tear its little passion to tatters. Let Morton rejoice and Logan fill the air with a resonant thanksgiving. To the soul of your live Radical there is nothing so comforting as a dead darkey, rhe scourged farmers of Williamson jounty, Illinois; the maltreated people if Crawford county, Indiana; the beatMi and maimed women and children )f the Pensylvania mining districts, are lothing to the high priests of the peculiar aith professed by the promoters and seekers of disturbance at the South.?
